Arizona Congressional Candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia (D) was hesitant at first about reporting she had been raped one night while fixing her campaign signs. She ultimately decided to come forward to speak on behalf of other survivors of sexual assault and assure them they will be loved and supported if they choose to share their own stories. Greene-Placentia joins Antonia Hylton to discuss how this event is shaping her campaign and what needs to change in society to prevent these horrific acts from happening.
